The Road To Jenin (2003)

In 2002, Israel launched its "Operation Defensive Shield," an attack on local terrorists in Jenin, Palestine. The Palestinian authorities and media, however, painted the event as a massacre by Israeli soldiers against innocent civilians. In this fascinating documentary, filmmaker Pierre Rehov attempts to set the story straight, exposing the truth behind the exaggerated damage, inflated death toll, and slanted Palestinian footage. 55 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
